Ch-ch-ch-changes.

As the blog reaches its 1st birthday (tomorrow), I've made and will continue to make some changes. Good ones, I promise.

With lots of life changes to come, I think it's only appropriate.

So in the next year you can read/watch as we...

1. Move out of our first real apartment (which is technically our third if you count living at my sister/brother-in-law's places for 2 months).
2. Apartment hunt in New York City while staying at my fabulous grandparents' (and I don't just say that because they'll read this) apartment in Manhattan.
3. Sign a lease on an apartment in the city and try to cram all of our clothes and dishes into what I can only assume will be a closet-sized place. What some of these Craigslist sellers call a one-bedroom is preposterous. You are not a one-bedroom if I have to climb a ladder to get to my bed.
4. Graduate. And when I say "we" I mean "I". Husband graduated 2 years ago, and can't wait for me to cross the threshold of undergraduate completion. I told him the other day that I might want to get my master's in Strategic Communication at Columbia and he just about died. And not from happiness. I'll revisit the subject at a later date. Ya know, like when I've made enough money to pay for another degree.
5. Complete an internship in MSLGroup's Compass/Media practice in New York City. Again, this is only me. But during this internship, I get to live with husband. Which means we're kind of doing it together because he'll hear all about it when I get home. Kind of like you will. So we're kind of all in this together (queue Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron).
6. Get hired full-time. At a PR firm. No "but"s, "or"s or "maybe"s. Unless they're from Jesus.
7. Close loans on housing developments and grow MDCapital. And this is really only husband. But I listen and provide encouragement.
8. Adopt a dog. But for real, maybe if I post it on here it'll happen. I can't even look at Goldendoodles anymore without whining like a spoiled toddler about how I want one. Watch this video and you'll see why:

9. Purchase a decent camera. For heaven's sake, I'm sure the world is tired of hearing me explain how "that big ugly spot on the screen" got on my old camera.
10. Travel. This is another "if you write it, it will happen" comment.

And lastly, you'll be able to visit the blog to see how we adapt to a new city while growing in our relationship. It'll be a wonderful, crazy, challenging, rewarding, beautiful ride. I love that you're joining us!
